Tasty recipe however the chef forgot to mention if the beans needed to be rinsed or not. I went ahead and rinsed them. I also substituted by adding red beans, great northern and pinto. I omitted celery and added a bit of salt too. Overall very good but next time will add a tad more chili powder and maybe some cumin.

I have never made chili before, surprisingly, preferring canned chili as a child over homemade. I did a google search for best mild chili, and this recipe came up, among others. I had all of the ingredients, minus celery (which my husband hates). I did use red kidney beans, pinto beans, and great northern beans, though. It was GREAT! My husband and 4 (sometimes very picky!) children ate it ALL and I was declared the best cook in the world by my 7-year-old son, who generally hates my "new" dishes. I give this recipe a 5, though we did modify it with no celery, different beans, added green peppers, and a dash of cumin.

I love to garden, both perennials and vegetables. I am always looking for recipes to fiddle with, especially good simple vegetable dishes. I try to use organic ingredients as much as possible.
